Ignore propaganda! Malala denies resigning as UDA SG

The ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party Secretary General Cleophas Malala has dismissed a letter alleging his resignation.

In a statement, Malala termed the letter that circulated on social media on Tuesday as 'propaganda'.

He insisted that the party is focused on helping President William Ruto achieve his campaign promises to the people of the Republic of Kenya.

"Ignore propaganda. The party is stable and focused on helping President William Ruto achieve his agenda for Kenya. Chama iko Imara," Malala said on X.

The letter alleging his resignation claimed that he had done so, after deep reflection on recent troubling developments.

On Tuesday, a section of UDA members stormed the party headquarters claiming Malala's ouster as SG.

The group led by Advocate, Joe Khalende claimed to have ousted him.

The group alleged that Malala was against the formation of a broad-based government by President William Ruto.

Khalende insisted that he would be taking over as secretary general and return the party to its members.

"He is against the formation of a broad-based government and I'm here to confirm that he is no longer the secretary general of the UDA party. I Joe Khalende will be taking over as the Secretary General of the UDA party," he said.

"Going forward, the UDA party is going back to its members. It was formed as a people-centred party, not on individuals within the party."
